Jared McGriff is an expressionistic painter, who through ethereal brush strokes transform mundane moments and scenes of everyday life into luminous ruminations. His interests in landscape painting and the figure are simultaneously time and place specific as well as transcendent. His characters navigate between the laws of nature and the laws of man and the compromises we make between them. McGriff’s figures appear stoic and steadfast, firmly grounded in their earthly reality while claiming celestial realms, dreamily and stubbornly finding their way through their natural and built environments. Born in Los Angeles, McGriff was raised in Tulare, California. He received his BA in architecture from the College of Environmental Design at the University of California, Berkeley and his MBA in Finance from New York University. McGriff has lived on Miami Beach for over 10 years.
